Instruction


Opening

To begin class I will explain that we will be working in the computer lab to preform a web quest on the cell cycle and cancer cells.
  • can anyone remember the steps of the cell cycle?
  • What causes cancer cells?
Today we are going to go in depth into both of these processes

Activities

Students will preform the web quest activity watching the interactive videos and then answering the questions. This activity will take the whole class period. I will walk around the lab looking to make sure students are completing assigned work.

Closing

At the end of the period I will facilitate a group discussion. Asking if the class learned anything new during this webquest on either the cell cycle processes or cancer.Why do you think that learning about this is important. What are your opinions of the webquest? Did you enjoy it? Learn new things? or was is boring and not informatiive?

Assessment Notes

At the end of the class I will collect the classwork that will be graded. I will also assess the students opinions with the webquest for future use.
